Quotes 

• [after film "breaks"] 

  Bugs Bunny : Ladies and gentlemen. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to continue with this picture. And, eh, confidentially, that film didn't exactly break.

  [holds up scissors, winks at audience] 

• Bugs Bunny : Boo! Boo! Boo! The champ's a bum! The champ's a dirty fake! Throw him out! Boo! P.U.! Hey, you big palooka! Why don't you pick on somebody your own size?

  [the Champ appears next to Bugs, grabs him by the ears and stretches him to eye level] 

  The Champ : Like you?

  Bugs Bunny : Eh - gulp - What's up, Doc?

  [the Champ throws Bugs into the ring] 

  Bugs Bunny : Me and my big mouth.

• Ring Announcer : Bugs is down. He's out. He's flat. He's kissing the canvas.

  [Bugs is shown literally kissing the canvas] 

  Ring Announcer : And here comes the count. One! Two! Three! It looks like it's all over. Four! Five! The champ is still champ.

  Bugs Bunny : [Grabs the mike]  Six! Seven! But wait just a minute, folks. Bugs is coming out of it. He's on his feet. He's moving in like a tornado. The champ is confused. He doesn't know which way to look.

  [At this point the champ starts to react to what Bugs is saying as if it's really happening] 

  Bugs Bunny : Bugs lands a beauty to the solar plexus! A right to the jaw! A one-two on the instep! Four fast rabbit punches to the kidneys! A left hook, a right hook, a north hook, a south hook! What a fight! The champ is groggy!

  [the champ trips on Bugs and falls] 

  Bugs Bunny : The champ is down.

• Bugs Bunny : Here you are! Get your hot buttered popcorn, folks! Last time around! Get it while it's hot! Get it while it's buttered! Here you are. Get your popcorn, folks!

  [Hands the champ a bag of popcorn with dynamite inside; explosion]
